The Front Rangers Cycling Club, established in January of 1993, was founded on the belief that direct interaction with youth will offset the influences of drugs, gang membership, crime and other social ills facing young people today.

The membership of the Front Rangers Cycling Club is composed of a group of adult professionals who are bicycle racers, ex-racers, and cycling enthusiasts. In addition, officers from the Denver Police Department are active members. All members share their time and enthusiasm to ensure worthwhile achievement for each and every participant.

The Denver Police Department, as our primary partner, recognizes and supports the Front Rangers Cycling Club as a vital link with Denver youth to encourage healthy recreational activities and drug-free lifestyles.

Member Objectives

Front Rangers have established these objectives for all members and participants to gain lasting, valuable life experiences.

Introduce urban youth to cycling as an alternative activity to drugs, gangs, and ensure continued participation through the progression of the program.

Actively promote drug-free lifestyles, self-discipline, and the value of education through example and encouragement.

Educate and promote bicycle safety and the rules of riding on the open road.

Promote healthy activities with urban youth, the community, and law enforcement officers.

Offer positive role models for "at-risk" youth and cultivate such role models within the community.

Organize large scale cycling events/races in the metro area in order to expose youth members to new cycling venues. In addition, enthusiastic youth and adult members meet for regular weekly rides. These rides and events begin in January and continue throughout the summer cycling season.
